Got distractions?
Wait. That's probably the wrong question to ask. Let me try again.
What distractions are you dealing with?
Social media?
Email?
People?
Those are the top three distractions I've been helping people deal with a lot these days.
In this article, I'm going to give you some tips on how to beat back these distractions so you can get back to the business of doing what you need to.
Social Media
Tip #1: turn off notifications. You don't need to be alerted every time someone posts...
Meetings.
What emotions do you feel when you hear that word?
Or when you’re invited to one?
Anger?
Frustration?
Overwhelm?
Or maybe you experience physical issues like pain in your neck, head or elsewhere?

I love Instagram.
When it was released to the world on October 6, 2010 exclusively on iOS devices (it came to Android in April 2012), not many took notice. In the beginning, it was only a square photo sharing service. Its growth was steady and in April 2012, Facebook forked over one billion dollars for it.
To say that Instagram can be highly addictive (keeping you from being productive) is an understatement. Instagram, like every other social media platform out there, is specifically...
